Simon,

You can present the clutch and cover to the flywheel using the plastic =
tool. Tighten the cover just enough to hold the disc....... remove the =
plastic tool ......then insert the metal input shaft, loosen the bolt, =
finish the alignment and tighten the bolts.=20
=20
Another aid is to put an old fan belt around the back the transmission. =
One of you can then easily lift or lower the back end of the =
transmission to make things line up.
=20
When I do it, I place a piece of 2x4 at the back of the cylinder head =
between it and the firewall. Because the engine is well balanced on its =
motor mounts it does not put much pressure on the firewall. It will do =
no damage. The engine in this position is well suited to receive the =
transmission. I then use the floor jack to get the front of the =
transmision to the right level. Then you can guide the tranny forward =
using the fan belt to raise or lower the rear of the transmission. =
Make sure the transmission is in gear so you can turn the rear output =
flange as needed to get the clutch and input shaft splines to line up. =
I have used this method many times with success doing it all by myself. =
Take your time and with a bit of finesse it should slide right in. Never =
let the weight of the transmission hang on the input shaft and clutch. =
Use the floor jact to support the weight of the transmission at all =
times.=20

Thank you everybody for your replies.=20
=20
Richard=E2=80=99s advice as to centering the clutch by moving the =
alignment tool back and forth, up/down seems very sensible and =
I=E2=80=99ll try that.
=20
I said that I thought the black plastic alignment tool was easier to use =
than the shaft because, with plastic tool, one can plug the clutch plate =
to the flywheel then wind on the cover as no part of the tool is wider =
than the hole in the centre of the cover. With the shaft, one has to put =
it through cover and clutch plate and then fight the pair up and onto =
the flywheel.=20
=20
Two people found (very!) polite ways of asking if I=E2=80=99d put the =
clutch plate on backwards. Sadly not; that might have produced an =
instant cure. I=E2=80=99m way past being offended by such questions.=20
=20
Nothing is binding in the spigot bush/pilot bearing. Another instant =
cure missed.
=20
No slop in the clutch lever bushings. The slave=E2=80=99s push rod and =
clevis pin were in a bad way although that had not - previously =
=E2=80=93 impinged. I=E2=80=99ve ordered new ones anyhow.
=20
I=E2=80=99ve got the two dowel bolts and used them at 11:00 and 17:30. =
(Incidentally, I=E2=80=99ve got on file an email, 11 June =E2=80=9902, =
of Michael=E2=80=99s in which he makes reference to the importance =
attached to these bolts as a =E2=80=9Ctempest in a teapot=E2=80=9D. His =
maths makes perfect sense, as you=E2=80=99d expect, but I=E2=80=99ll be =
sure to put them in per the book).
=20
I did have a jack under the engine and will again.=20
=20
Barring anything new received from you guys, I=E2=80=99ll just have to =
try again, paying great attention to the plate being centred and the =
engine/gearbox being at compatible angles.
=20
No attempt today as son-in-law is at work! It is definitely a task where =
an Arnie-lookalike is extremely useful.
